STATUS LABELING

Status labeling in the pharmaceutical industry is a critical practice for ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards. It involves the use of labels to identify the status of various items throughout the manufacturing process, including raw materials, in-process materials, finished products, and equipment.  

These labels typically include information such as the item’s status (e.g., quarantined, sampled, under test, rejected), batch number, expiration date, and any specific handling instructions. Status labeling helps to maintain traceability, prevent mix-ups, and facilitate efficient inventory management.

By clearly indicating the status of each item, it helps to minimize the risk of errors and ensures that only products that meet quality standards are released for distribution.
